As Seen on SpaceTV!

Mortars? - Yes
Multiple Units? - No
Multiple Shells Per Firing? - Yes
Massive Damage? - Well... I'll give you one guess....

Yes, MEGAMORTARS!!! (I know, it's just a cheezy name!) One mortar unit, 500 shells. Multiple tubes in the unit, yes. Massive damage, of course!!! This is something that's similar to something being developed in the US in real life. There are 100 tubes included in one rectangle or square shaped unit, and 5 shells are loaded in each tube. An electrical shock goes through the rear shells and into the front one, which fires the shell, and triggers a firing enable on a shell directly in the rear of the front one, then so on. Could be very useful for clearing mine fields, or to kill them all :twisted: !!! Currently in development... will be out in two days (our time)

$2500 USD per unit. Includes targetting software that requires you to use your own satellite to register diffrerent types of signatures, heat, sound, ect. The software can choose which surrounding units to target, or you can blast them all to h*ll without the targetting software! :P

It's Australian, not American. Bastards, trying to claim that they made everything.

Most americans who know about that kind of crap know that it was austrailian(sp). But i'm sure the US has some of them for testing at least.

But anyways, this is a nice idea, i like it, but i'd rather develop my own instead of buying.

The one version i'm interested in the 105mm screaming meanies (is that right? i'm not sure) from "When the Devil Dances" by John Ringo

America has none, unless they stole them, the guy only has one so far.
